A Guide To E-Boys And E-Girls

With VSCO girls being all the rage, it's important to take a look at the other side of the spectrum: the E-Boys and E-Girls. They could technically be their own species. They're different and unique, and they definitely feel like they own their personality better than anyone else. They're #quirky and #relatable, but not in a basic way, of course.

Style

There are many different kinds of styles e-boys and e-girls tend to have, though they all seem to have one general outfit that all of them have somewhere in their closet. This outfit starts off with a black band t-shirt. If it's something more old mainstream or something completely indie, the better. Underneath that amazing band t-shirt is a black and white stripped shirt, preferably with medium thickness stripes and having a turtleneck. If it doesn't, you'll be okay but it won't be as perfect. In addition to those, baggy black jeans, almost in a mom style, are a must. Whether they have rips in them is up to you, but they need to look heavy duty. A belt with some chains attached are needed next. Then, finally, a pair of socks, either black or ones with flames on them, and black checkered vans to pull off the whole look.

Makeup

Makeup for e-girls and e-boys can also be fairly diverse, but there are a few staple things e-girls need to do to consider themselves an e-girl, and the same for e-boys.

E-Girls: E-girls must have long winged eyeliner, and it has to be good. The point has to be sharp and 'on fleek'. Anything less than perfect isn't acceptable. Next is a little stamped heart under the eye. Normally this goes off to the side underneath the winged eyeliner, but some e-girls put the heart directly under the middle of their eye to line up with their pupil. E-girls must has have pink eye shadow that they use underneath their eye to make them seem younger and more child-like. The last piece needed is high-lighter just on the tip of the nose.

E-Boys: E-boys can be a little different because some guys are uncomfortable wearing makeup. If a guy can pull off eyeliner it's encouraged. They can also put a little eyeliner in the corner of their lips in order to give the impression that their mouth is bigger than it is.

Accessories/Hair

These are also different per e-girl and e-boy.

E-Girls: Pigtails and a middle part. Having your nails painted black is good, having them slightly chipped is even better.

E-Boys: A middle part for the hair is a must, as well as probably using a little bit of gel to make it a little stiffer. It's also required to have one ear pierced. Instead of having an earring though, you have to use a safety pin. Black nail polish is also required.

Necessities

The one main thing needed by every e-boy and e-girl are the LED strip lights that can go around their room. They have to be the ones that can change colors and everything. If you don't have those kinds of lights, you really can't call yourself an e-girl/e-boy. It's also nice if you have a skateboard, Hot Topic and Vans stickers, and several band posters.

Hobbies

One of the most important hobbies of e-girls and e-boys is TikTok. In order to fully be an e-girl or e-boy you have to have a TikTok account and you must upload content almost every day. It's important and it's an easy way for fellow e-girls and e-boys to interact. Truthfully, it shouldn't even be called a hobby, it's a lifestyle...

Talents

Talents often times include going cool transitions on TikTok and gaining followers at a rapid pace. Though, when not online making content for the masses, e-girls and e-boys can be found at the skate park doing cool tricks on their boards. Even if they're just beginners on the board, they can probably do it better than you so it's best not to mess with them.

Vocabulary

Finally, vocabulary. Though there isn't any specific lingo that one needs to know to become an e-boy or e-girl, it's best to know every single TikTok audio ever created. Now... that seems like quite the task, but just by using the app for at least 8 hours of the day and making your own TikToks will have you getting those audios memorized in no time!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
